I don't know, but I'm guessing more help systems will require db access to 
support user configuration. Assuming your project is web-based, what is 
your web server? IIS? The web server creates connections to the database, 
which in your case is SQL Server. (I think they're called ADO in MS 
parlance.) Through the db connection, a web page can display data from the 
db, but this is time-consuming to craft, not to mention the possible 
performance degradation. But, it can be done.

On the racial profiling module, I suspect that recent laws require law 
enforcement agencies to keep stats to monitor or prevent profiling, not as 
a means to  encourage it.
